Brisket bowl is yes!!! They split it for us so we can take it to go and have it on the grass by the painted ladies. Super helpful staff. Fast. Delicious. On the expensive side but worth it! I love the signs too!

Souvla has a very limited menu, but everything on it is great! They’ve got a few meats, which come as either a wrap or a salad, I love the pork salad, personally, but none of them are bad.

TL;DR - One of the best orders of fries I've had and the veggie sandwich is amazing. Food: - Veggie sandwich: The olives are not overbearing and instead provide the perfect balance for the other veggies and sauce. Very good - Fries w/Harissa - These were honestly some...Read More

Absolute gem in Hayes Valley. Their salads are good but the avgolemono soup takes the crown - the lemony savory soup is distinctive and unique not to mention a zing to the taste buds. To top it off (I recommend getting after you've had your...Read More
